Anyone who has been following this probably thinks that I've fallen off the sugar wagon and landed in a pile of breads, pasta, donuts and beer & have been wallowing in said pile to my piggish heart's content.
Well, not true.... not really anyway. These are some reasons I have not been posting on this topic:
1. Everything has been very incredibly busy lately and there has just not been time to post.
2. By posting about my self-imposed nutritional program I was imposing the idea of "lack" upon myself. "I can't have this. I can't have that. waa waa waa." Truth is I can eat whatever I want. I have the ability to choose foods that hum or foods that yum. & that means that there is very little "lack" in my life. Anyone who can choose & afford to eat healthy foods, is economically blessed no matter what is going on in other aspects of her existence.
3. I was becoming one of those people who is fixated on only one aspect of her life..... kind of like an elderly person who can only talk about bowel movements, medications, or what the doctor said. Since I am working to be a healthy, active, well-rounded senior citizen (if I must be old, let me be young at heart and mind..... & no, I don't mean afflicted with Alzheimer's), my constant obsessing was defeating the purpose.
4. There just isn't too much to say. There are days when I don't do so well. I eat whatever fits into my schedule and suffer the consequences - icky taste in the mouth, fatigue, bloat, crankiness, foggy thoughts, etc. But for the most part, I am eating well. I am fitting into my clothes easier. My energy level is higher and my thoughts a bit clearer. & I am beginning to feel somewhat "clean" inside. & that is what it is all about.
